CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Vancouver and working on an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Simon Fraser University

ABOUT ME

I'm an MFA student and theatre maker currently living in Vancouver, BC. I'm from the East Coast, which always has my heart, but I'm happily exploring the West Coast these days. In June I am traveling around Wisconsin exploring folk art environments as part of my MFA research...very excited to visit a new state!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet and stay with interesting, exciting people during my travels, make new friends and be able to host travelers myself when I return from my own adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent a month in the Netherlands, couchsurfing all the way, and I had the time of my life. The people I met were incredible and it was such a positive experience. A couple summers later my friend from Holland stayed on my couch! I have only good things to say about my experiences on couchsurfing.
